Excellent image, Steve. I like the composition. The leaf gives a rough scale for the size of the bird.

A nice title for this. Yes, he does look small next to that leaf. Gives it a lot of perspective. Well done!

Steve,
For more visual impact, I'd even suggest a semi pano crop for this one. Just eliminate about 1/5 from the bottom frame to close the space that exists underneath the big leaf ... :roll:

very nice; hummer looks a little soft to me; may just be his plumage.

Great sense of scale here. I like the comp but would have included the tip of the leaf.

I think this is an awesome comparison between "Big" and "Small"!!
